[Verse 1]
Sister had a crystal voice
She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward
Baez songs and Monroe hair
She sure could turn the boys' heads to stare
Swimwear, saunter, tan and haunt them
Was all she learned in school
Books were for the other girls
And the other girls were fools
[Refrain]
Texas back in sixty-nine
Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights
[Verse 2]
Father waltzed her down the aisle
'cause college didn't suit her style
The sad truth was she could barely read
But if you told dear Father
Well, he wouldn't believe you
The telephone rang and drove Mother insane
From the hearts left on the shelf
Sister's gone and she won't be home
'cause she didn't take care of herself
Texas back in sixty-nine
Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights
Sister had a crystal voice
She played a Silvertone from Montgomery Ward
Baez songs and Monroe hair
She sure could turn the boys' heads to stare
Swimwear, saunter, tan and haunt them
Was all she learned in school
Books were for the other girls
And the other girls were fools
[Refrain]
Texas back in sixty-nine
Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights
[Verse 2]
Father waltzed her down the aisle
'cause college didn't suit her style
The sad truth was she could barely read
But if you told dear Father
Well, he wouldn't believe you
The telephone rang and drove Mother insane
From the hearts left on the shelf
Sister's gone and she won't be home
'cause she didn't take care of herself
Texas back in sixty-nine
Was drive-in movies and dashboard lights
